Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

"good!"

He aimed at the incoming ball and swung the bat with all his might!

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the bat whistling through the air was exceptionally clear.

The baseball landed steadily in Miyuki's glove.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Out!"

"Strikeout!"

The referee announced it loudly.

Three consecutive strikes.

"Well done!"

"Good shot, Lin Xiao!"

His teammates praised him.

"It's unbelievable that he's only in first grade."

The spectators in the stands were also amazed by Lin Xiao's performance, striking out the Yakushi's backline three times in a row, demonstrating overwhelming strength.

Top of the fourth inning.

The attack by Pharmacist High School has begun again.

In the second round of attacks on Thunder City.

"First batter, third baseman, Hitsune."

The announcement came on, and that figure walked into the batting area once again.

Thunder City licked his lips.

"I really want to eat meat."

The Pharmacists' batters seemed to be getting used to Lin Xiao's pitching rhythm, and this was their second round of batting.

You're so amazing!

I'm really looking forward to the next match...

Thunder City's eyes turned fierce, and a wild smile spread across his lips.

"You're courting death! Offensive baseball is our specialty!"

He growled and pointed his bat at the infield.

"I'm going to break down the infield defense!"

"Stop looking around, Lei Shi!"

Coach Raizo shouted from the rest area.

"Smash them, Thunder City!"

"Even the God of Baseball wants to see your hitting!"

In the stands, the audience held their breath.

Yes, if he gets a hit, the situation on the field will undoubtedly change.

"boom!"

"Get a big one!"

"Thunder City!"

The cheers for the pharmacist surged instantly.

Seido is also feeling the pressure.

Moreover, the second and third batters are also formidable hitters.

Hopefully, he won't hit a long hit.

"Why not just take him out in a head-on confrontation?"

Miyuki's voice was calm and confident.

"Let's settle this once and for all, Lin Xiao."

Regardless, if this person isn't eliminated...

There was no way to stop the pharmacist's offensive.

"Lin Xiao!"

"Thunder City!"

"Seido!"

"Pharmacist!"

"Seido! Seido! Seido!"

"Thunder City! Smash them!"

"If you don't get a hit, you won't get a banana!"

Coach Raizo's unique motivational methods drew laughter from the stands, but also made the atmosphere at the pharmacy even more lively.

"Fight it out!"

In a previous game, he failed to hit Lin Xiao's ball.

I guess I'll just have to accept my fate this time too.

Miyuki gave the secret signal.

We need to attack with low balls throughout the game.

Lin Xiao nodded and waved his arm.

"call out!"

The baseball accurately burrowed into the low corner.

"Bad ball!"

Lei Shi didn't move an inch, not even making a preparatory swing.

"Very good, very good, a very good shot."

"Good shot."

Miyuki secretly praised him, but at the same time, a sense of vigilance arose within him.

"They were completely unmoved..."

"Let's launch an offensive!"

"Take care of him, Lin Xiao!"

His teammates on the sidelines cheered him on loudly.

Lin Xiao pitched again, and it was still low to the outside corner.

"Bad ball!"

pity!

Good shot!

The ball is very powerful!

Lin Xiao's straight shot is incredibly powerful!

After the forked fingers comes the straight ball.

Miyuki frowned.

"Isn't there any intention to attack those two balls that went to the outside corner?"

"He used to take shots even on difficult shots."

"It gives me a bad feeling."

"He's probably waiting for an inside corner kick."

It would be great if he could have taken a shot from either of those two balls.

In this situation, we can only keep throwing at the most difficult spots.

"Beat them down hard!"

"Thunder City!"

"Aim carefully at the ball and shoot! Aim carefully at the ball and shoot!"

"Aim carefully!"

The shouts from the pharmacist's rest area became even more urgent.

"Thunder City".

"Fight back! I must fight back!"

He gripped the baseball bat tightly, his knuckles turning white.

We have to get to base no matter what.

If I can respond to my teammates' expectations with a blow...

Lin Xiao's third shot is here, a straight shot that's a bit high on the inside corner!

"They're here!"

A glint of light flashed in Lei Shi's eyes!

"Too easy to beat!"

He swung the bat violently!

however--

"Oh no!"

His swing seemed a little slow, or perhaps too forceful?

"Clang!"

The baseball was hit hard, but it flew high into the air and landed out of bounds.

"Out of bounds!"

"It didn't even go through?"

The stands erupted in uproar.

"What's going on, Thunder City!"

Coach Raizo roared in dissatisfaction.

Are you nervous?

"Fight them out...fight them out..."

Lei Shi's breathing became heavy, his eyes were somewhat unfocused, and he kept repeating himself.

"This guy..."

Miyuki keenly noticed the change in the state of Rai City.

"Please throw a powerful fastball, Lin Xiao."

He gave the signal again.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao raised his arm again.

"call out!"

Another powerful straight ball!

"Clang!"

"Out of bounds!"

The baseball was hit out of bounds again.

The attacker has no way out.

Two good things and two bad things.

Miyuki noticed that Raichi's swing no longer had the pure, enjoyable fighting spirit he used to have.

"That idiot, could he be...?"

"Thunder City! Don't think about anything unnecessary!"

Coach Raizo's voice pierced through the noise of the stadium.

"Just fight it out in your own style!"

"Enjoy the duel with the pitcher!"

Fight them out, fight them out!

We must meet everyone's expectations.

Lei Shi seemed not to hear his father's words, still lost in his own thoughts.

That's it, he won't listen to anything I say!

Ryouzo slammed his fist on the railing in frustration.

Use this ball!

Miyuki's eyes narrowed, and he gave the decisive signal.

The number of balls is two good and two bad.

The winner will advance to the semifinals.

"Let him call, Lin Xiao!"

"Let's take care of him!"

"The attacker has no way out!"

"Kill him right now!"

The Seido team members shouted in unison.

I will settle this here!

Lin Xiao's eyes were sharp as knives.

Use this ball!

Thunder City!

He saw the trajectory of the incoming ball.

The same trajectory as before.

It flew straight in!

This time, I must…

He was sent flying!

He swung the bat with all his might!

However, just as the bat was about to touch the ball, the small white ball suddenly plummeted!

It refers to a forkball!?

I've never heard of him also...

Lei Shi's pupils contracted sharply, and the trajectory of his swing could no longer be changed.

Swish!

The bat missed.

No, from the moment you are driven to the brink and your heart is consumed by the pressure of "responding to expectations".

The outcome has already been decided.

Lin Xiao wouldn't give them a chance.

"Strike! Batter out!"

"Match over!"

The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium.

The fourth game ended with the score settling at 12-0.

According to the competition rules, if the score difference exceeds 10 points, the competition will end early.

That last shot...

"Well done, Lin Xiao!"

"Well done!"

Miyuki ran up to the pitcher's mound and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder forcefully.

"Lin Xiao..."

Junya Izashiki rushed over as well.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

He also patted Lin Xiao hard.

"Lin Xiao..."

In the stands, the audience was buzzing with discussion.

"Boom! Boom-kun actually struck out after missing all four of his at-bats."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Seido to save the forkball as their trump card."

"However, during the final hit, Todoroki's swing seemed a bit sluggish..."

"It's probably due to stress."
